    The DID Electrical ad.

    "Breaking up is hard to do." Yeah, well, why the f*** are you making a song and dance about it so?

    Just plain awful.

    It's not great. The singing is way overdone. She sounds like a grown up Billy Barry Brat on steroids. Also, the fact that the dishwasher sings along bugs me. There's nothing good in this for the dishwasher. He'll end up on the scrp heap, his days of living in a warm, comfy kitchen a thing of the past!

    Saw this horribly long and strange ad the other day and instantly thought of this thread. Luckily I'd say it's only playing on UK versions of channels, enjoy! https://youtu.be/53twFqvOJ5Q

    Any advert where they have a woman singing her "interpretation" of an old song.. (Every couple of months).
    Usually "Interpretation" means that they've s l o w e d it down loads and are hoping that the world doesn't realise that they're another karaoke machine that aren't creative enough to write their own good song and sing it in their own manner.
    They are always picked for adverts (Which in itself proves they are annoying cráppy tunes), and two at the moment that are particularly annoying are:
    Quantum Break - Xbox One - Prep School singing Nirvana's Come as you are
    and
    Muller - I googled the heck out of this VERY annoying one, and I think it's nicole scherzinger singing, I want you back by the Jackson 5.

    MAKE IT STOP!

    I certainly hope not. I remember thinking she actually had a bit of talent, and the advert a bit of potential.

    If this is what she has been reduced to them I really do feel sorry for her.

    That Burger King one where they've changed the voices to protect identities of customers for fear people will think they're tight, but you can still see their faces so it's pretty useless, also one is a small girl its not like she'd have much money or anyone accusing her of being tight.

    That f*cking Ultimate Wingman gimp is back again :mad:

    the mcdonells curry advert is creeping up my list.

    I am getting really irritated by any of these ads including female GAA players! Whether it's sanitary pads or LIDL or whatever I just can't stand all this "I'm so strong.... I'm a female warrior GAA player " stuff. End of the world drama music in the background....... Jesus how did we women survive in the world before these ads?

    It did my head in for a long time until I copped they were taking the piss out of Skehan. I find him more irritating than any ad so it gets a slight reprieve for that.

    okay then I'll stand down for now :pac: I youtubed the other guy and I can see its inspired at least. As parodies go its mild, lots of things are difficult to parody these days though

    That one with the American goalkeeper is so weird, such an off-putting ad, hate the music.

    Here's a tip for them: don't put in a dumb backing track of a cookie-cutter guitar riff with a woman randomly blurting out "conversation~!" like an anime voice actor with a poor grasp on the English language.

    The new Ryanair ad is an absolute shocker. The youngster flying his toy plane, probably set his parents back 20 euro on board. :D

    This would be a more accurate ad for them
